As long as you're not putting salt on a dry surface, it usually sticks. We anticipate the salt will be working fine.
We did a lot of work on I-94 in the Metro Detroit and Ann Arbor areas in anticipation of this M-14 rebuild.
The other two ramps which will be closed are from the southbound Lodge to north and southbound Telegraph.
Essentially, this bridge has reached its life expectancy.
We have plans for other weekends to set bridge beams. We anticipate following the same type of format with the overnight closures.
They're pretty extensive repairs. I fully anticipate we should have those bridges reopened to traffic some time in October.
Traditionally we don't do sweeping in the winter months, but we've been blessed with a mild January.
We could have easily reconstructed the existing infrastructure in one year. The (two-year) realignment is a benefit to the community and worth the wait.
We have work going on practically everywhere. It is a worry. It?s a worry for the motorists. It?s a worry for the workers. It?s a worry for their families. Every day they step out the door, and you just don?t know what going to occur out here.
We're preparing to shift traffic from eastbound M-14 to the westbound lanes so we can rebuild the eastbound side, but there are problems with the pavement that have to be addressed first.
